Roman-Persian wars took about 700 years and it affects the middle east region. Both sides were not able to gain decisive victory so in long time their boarders were unchanged. The last Roman-Persian war started in 602 AD and took 26 years until 628 AD. The rapid Persian gains and Preaching to the greatest extent of the Persian empire was responded by progressive victories of Romans and pushing back Persians to their lands and following them to their capital Ctesphone. The final stage of this war showed that the Persian Sasanid armywas no longer able to concentrate and resist and was loosing its competence. This was finally approved during the Islamic conquest of Iran where Persian outnumbered army was not able to fight against moslem arab light cavalaries and they lost a big territory in Iraq only 9 months with a catastrophic loss of soldiers and heavy cavalaries.
